House holiday rentals in Bar Harbor

Me and my friends loved this BNB!! The hot tub was amazing and the pool was an awesome addition. Instructions were clear and even called to walk me through everything. Plenty of places to sleep and loads of places to go!

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

this was the 3rd time our family has stayed,again we had a fantastic time! We chose to return due to the great space, a fabulous indoor pool, great kitchen and an amazing view. Great attention to details, comfortable for large families or groups and peaceful for just 2.

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

Booked this place for our anniversary to get away from the city for a weekend.. we found exactly what we were looking for! The hot tub was wonderful, the house was clean and cute, and we had everything we could have needed! Estelle was very responsive and gave clear instructions for everything. Would recommend this place for a quiet getaway or a small group trip in the summer!

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

If I could compare this airbnb to an NBA player it would be Lebron Raymone James

We came on a family trip to Acadia and stayed here. The place was extremely clean and spacious. Rebecca is a gracious and responsive host. The location is great, as it is close to a lot of things, but it also feels private. And the best part of all is the view- it’s amazing!

LOVED this place!! Clean, that’s a dealbreaker, and it was clean! Situated on 8 acres, peaceful, dog-friendly, cozy, just felt like home. Loved the bottle of wine and chocolates, that’s the way to a girls heart, after a clean place ofc. There were tissues in the bathroom, stocked kitchen, w &d, great lighting. There was this quilt and rug in the master bedroom that looked like I was sleeping at grandmas house. We had to drive everywhere, as this was not a walking rental, but totally worth it. Felt like the heart of Acadia. You have to drive to all the trails anyway. Would totally stay here again.

Simply magical! Cozy and fun space. We enjoyed watching eagles and ospreys fish, seals pop their heads up, and even an adorable family of foxes from the comfort of the living room! Kitchen had all necessities for cooking most meals at home. A nice trail for walking down the road and an awesome beach where the kids threw stones and searched for seaglass each afternoon. We were all sad to leave!

Lynn's place was great for checking out Acadia, Bar Harbor other surrounding harbors. It had everything we needed and having water bottles, camp chairs and blankets was a bonus. Kim P

Great place for traveling to Arcadia! Super close to the park and surrounded by fresh markets!

Beautiful & magical spot! Views of water were gorgeous to wake up to. Being able to walk out onto the beach was wonderful. Cabin was clean, soaring ceilings, very open and bright. Loved it!

Beautiful place in a beautiful setting! We loved Salt in the Pines for our group of three couples. Scenic ~20 minute drive to Bar Harbor and easy access to Acadia. We already want to come back and stay again!

We thought this was the perfect spot for a visit to Acadia National Park. The house was very nice, very clean, and very peaceful. It was situated in a convenient place, near both the town of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It’s a peaceful setting, with a great swimming pond just at the end of the driveway. We had two families (4 adults and two kids) and the size was perfect. Would definitely recommend!

The TreeHome was beautiful, nestled against the quiet side of Acadia NP, among other single-family homes. We felt very safe. Surrounded by trees and large granite rocks, we could not see another house from the windows. The house was pristine with the latest-styled furniture, kitchen, & bath. Comfortable beds. Wifi was great. Loved the tree in the center of the spiral staircase, all the live plants, the ship's rigging to hold the lantern in the vaulted ceiling, and the painting of Appa. We felt like we were with "our people". Would love to stay there again!

Erica was SO accommodating and helpful. She responded extremely quick anytime we messaged and gave us tips and recommendations. Her home is adorable and we really enjoyed being there. It had everything we needed! Only thing to note is that while her place is 20 minutes from Acadia’s entrance it is a big park so anytime we were going to a hike it did take more like 40 minutes to get to it, just worth a mention! Highly recommend her place!

John's place is absolutely beautiful and homey! The house has been totally renovated in the winter of 2025 and is very lovely, classy, on-trend in ways that make this seaside cottage feel so refreshed, current and relatable. And that's just the INSIDES! The deck overhanging the rocks to the shore is THE perfect place to hang out: start your day here with a mug of hot coffee. Have lunch and cocktails in the afternoon/evening while viewing the unspoiled, gorgeous bay. Nature and serenity are what this place is ALL about! Enjoy the total peace, privacy and happiness this home provides. It's a true gem!

I enjoyed my stay. The house was spotless and I’m very picky about that. I traveled with my dog and I’m always concerned when they accept pets that the house will smell or have hair all over. I have to say the house was spotless and fresh. I do not allow my dog on furniture like some people do so I always get concerned. The kitchen was well equipped and bathrooms spotless and equipped. Has laundry machines as well. Stacks of wood inside and at the fire pit outside. Beautiful plantings outside and even thou I don’t have an electric car, I did see the charging station. Great place!!

The photos on the website didn’t do it justice! It was a beautiful location and a great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Acadia and Bar Harbor. This rental is almost good enough to be your actual destination. The house has everything you could possibly imagine and it was just pristine. They also provided all the paper products four adults needed for 9 nights. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Everything was clean and just what I expected from the listing. It was a great location in relation to Acadia National Park. We enjoyed staying in more secluded spot, but we could easily drive into the busier Bar Harbor area. I highly recommend staying at Hannah’s place!

We loved staying here! The surroundings were so peaceful and beautiful, and the house was clean and comfortable, with great outdoor space, as well. Kathryn was great…super responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone!
